Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman thinks the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos should change their team name. “I think there’s an opportunity to have a more inclusive name,” Bowman said on Wednesday, days before a West Division playoff matchup between the Eskimos and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “That’s ultimately a decision for the team, though.”Bowman, who is Metis, said he respects the Edmonton CFL organization, but would prefer a different name. The Eskimos are facing the Blue Bombers in the CFL western semi-final on Sunday in Winnipeg. It’s not the first time there have been calls for the Edmonton team to change its name.
